Common Imperial

Yesterday was indeed my lucky day! :cool: Its been so very long since I managed to shoot a common imperial. There were 3 of them dancing around from leaf to leaf.

Hi Hector, Nice shots of the CIs! The shadows are pretty interesting. Nice bokeh and composition too!

Very nice shots. Hope that the common imperial will still be ard after my exams(in 3 weeks time), :bsmile:

Great shots, Hector! :thumbsup: The shadows add to the interest of the composition of the butts. What was that last pair up to? Had they just finished "doing their business"? At first I thought it was some PhotoShop trick! :bsmile:

Thanks tomatoes, falcon, and commander! I deliberately included the shadows inside the frame.

I thought they were going to mate too, but they just 'dance' around from leaf to leaf in this manner for quite a while! :hmmm:

Great shots Hector. :thumbsup: I love the 3rd shot the most, beautiful composition. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose for the third shots. I always miss the CI, just not my luck.

:cheers:

Thanks to birdwing and airforce1!

Should be around. From past records, they seems to be around end/beginning of months.

nice shot hector, #2 and #4 :thumbsup:

Wow :what: . Almost miss out this high standard shots here.
#4 is very unique. I think not likely to get this composition again.

Thank you all for the comments!
